Twitter files petitions for lawsuits against access ban in Turkey

Twitter announced on Wednesday that it had filed petitions for lawsuits in a number of Turkish courts to demand a formal lifting of the ban on the service in the country.

Twitter says that the proposed ban is a series of three court orders that it wasn’t privy to before the ban was enacted, which include two that the company claims relate to content on their network that violate their own terms of service, and have accordingly been removed.
